I saw, in gradual vision through my tears,
The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years,
Those of my own life, who by turns had flung
A shadow across me.

Additional quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The face of all the world is changed, I think,
Since first I heard the footsteps of they soul
Move still, oh, still, beside me...

And I said in underbreath —
All our life is mixed with death, —
And who knoweth which is best?
And I smiled to think God's greatness
Flowed around our incompleteness, — Round our restlessness, His rest.

And that dismal cry rose slowly And sank slowly through the air,
Full of spirit's melancholy And eternity's despair;
And they heard the words it said,—
"Pan is dead! great Pan is dead! Pan, Pan is dead!"
